I have also used multiple methods and still cannot access. My only guess is that it has something to do with the attacks on the pool.Back to my backup pool until I can verify that my work is being credited.

@eleuthria... I now found that stratum allows merged mining. Judging from this site: http://dustcoin.com/mining merged mining would now result in around 7% more income when merge mining other coins together with bitcoins. Yesterday it was 9%. And a week ago NMC alone was 13%. That is because of the rising exchange price of bitcoins.So i wonder why merged mining isnt enabled. It would bring way more extra money than the transaction fees of bitcoin gives. And this by mining the same amount of bitcoins plus other coins on top.

If BTC Guild will never merge mine... what pools allow stratum merge mining with as many other coins as possible?

1) Automatic payouts are now available in 0.0x intervals.2) Port 80 stratum may happen, but is not currently planned (the majority of port 80 mining is done by botnets, there are very few legit reasons for miners to require port 80)3) I have no plans to add merged mining to my Stratum code. Nothing about any new protocol prohibits merged mining. However, I would have to do significant research to figure out how to build proper merged mining coinbases, and then rely on running namecoind on the nodes. That's just yet another point of failure. NMC is only worth something right now because somebody spent ~50 BTC a few weeks ago to Pump & Dump the price. It has no future.

Edit:2 Down again!Edit:3 And its up along with the website!Edit:4 I think Eleuthria was doing something to "boot off" miners, Like turning off getwork, But messed up a littlebit while doing so, We're at 20ghEdit:5 Seems like a DDoSEdit:6 Eleuthria came online and fixed the damage
